AI for Mixing Workflow: Automating First Passes

2025/09/30

Making a Scene - AI for Mixing Workflow: Automating First PassesMixing is the stage where songs finally come alive. It’s where all the pieces—vocals, drums, guitars, keys, bass, and more—start to feel like music instead of a pile of recordings. But let’s be honest: if you’re an indie artist or home studio musician, opening a session with twenty or thirty raw tracks can be intimidating. You hit play, and instead of hearing a band, you hear chaos. Vocals are too loud, the snare is exploding in your

Introduction: Music Was Never Just EntertainmentMusic isn’t background noise. It isn’t just party soundtracks, workout playlists, or marketing jingles. At its core, music has always been a weapon, a rallying cry, and a spark for social change. It’s the heartbeat of revolutions, the whisper of resistance, and the shout of freedom. From enslaved people encoding escape routes in spirituals, to punk rockers screaming against conformity, to hip-hop calling out police brutality, music has always spoken

Making a Scene Presents Slate Digital VSX Headphone System: A Deep Dive ReviewI want to start this review with something important: I bought these headphones myself.

That matters because when you’re spending hundreds of dollars on a piece of gear, you need an honest perspective—not marketing fluff.http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents - Smart Contracts & Royalty Splits: Get Paid AutomaticallyWhy Money Has Tore So Many Bands ApartYou know the story well: a band records a hit, it starts making money, and then tensions emerge. Who wrote which verse? Who deserves how much? Did the producer’s studio time count toward “points”? Did the marketing team’s work deserve a slice? Even when everyone’s intention is good, the old system is full of ambiguity, delays, and opaque accounting. Labels, publishers, and
